My thoughts are with everyone today. May Sam find peace in Stuarts arms.

Sam was a student of mine in Theatre my first few years at Northrop. I still have a drawing of he, JP Kasunic, Jon, and others in my office. I remember Sam as kind and caring, always enjoying the class and the company of his friends. I am so sorry for your loss, but very thankful for the memories of time spent with Sam and those other students. God Bless!
